Science On Screen: THEM! d. Gordon Douglas, 1954 + Talk by Professor Sarah Hart at Barbican (04 JUL 18:15).

“This B-movie gem from 1955 was Academy Award-nominated for Best Special Effects and is widely considered one of the best science fiction films of the 1950s. We begin with a young girl wandering through the desert, catatonic with shock. What could she have seen to provoke such a response? Thanks to the efforts of the police and FBI, as well as a couple of myrmecologists (the study of ants), we soon have the answer.”

“Why, it was giant ants of course! Professor Sarah Hart will explore what mathematics can tell us about the implications of growing very large or very small – could the giant ants in THEM! ever exist in real life? Professor Hart is a mathematician and author of Once Upon a Prime: the Wondrous Connections Between Mathematics and Literature (2023).” (Barbican)
